This week, the World-Weary women question "What's in a name?" with a coincidental rivalry theme. Violet explains the conquests of the mighty samurai warlord, Uesugi Kenshin: how they came to be known as the "Dragon of Echigo" and their famous rivalry with the "Tiger of Kai". Cassiopeia looks at the 19th century's scientific "name and shame" war that started with a Prince of Botany and ended with feuding palaeontologists.

The story continues after the inconclusive battles of the Kawanakajima plains. The Tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen returned to the Tokugawa lands, but his untimely death would lead his son Takeda Katsuyori to become leader of the Takeda clan, Katsuyori was not his father and he would lead the Takeda clan into almost complete insignificance. The Dragon of Echigo, Uesugi Kenshin would have more success in extending his realm, even defeating Oda Nobunaga decisively, however his untimely death would lead to another position of turmoil for the Uesugi...  Topics Covered The Death of Takeda Shingen Takeda Katsuyori Takes Power The Fall of The Takeda (The Battle of Nagashino) The Tiger and the Dragon Unite The Battle of Tedorigawa The Death of Uesugi KenshinSupport the show

Non ho mai pensato a vincere, ho solo capito che bisognava essere sempre all’altezza della situazione, e questo è ciò che conta. È imbarazzante che un samurai non lo sia. Se fossimo sempre all’altezza della situazione, non ci sentiremmo mai a disagio”.Cosa voleva dirci Uesugi Kenshin più di 500 anni fa?

In the Sekogu period, Japan was divided into a large number of small provinces, each ruled by powerful daimyo and all at war with each other. Two of the most important daimyo were Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin. They seemed to constantly match each other. Takeda Shingen was known as the Tiger of Kai, while Uesugi Kenshin was the Dragon of Echigo. On a mountain plain known as Kawanakajima, the island between the rivers, they met in battle repeatedly. The Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima was their biggest and most well remembered engagement. Shingen had 20,000 men, while Kenshin held 18,000. Shingen took the first strategic move, sending a few thousand men toward the Uesugi forces to surprise them at night, forcing them into his main army's crane wing formation. Instead, Kenshin moved his troops toward the Takeda force first, with what was known as the winding wheel. This whirling formation kept fresh troops in the vanguard, and placed Kenshin in Shingen's tent. Shingen could only parry Kenshin's sword thrusts with his war fan. In the end, Uesugi Kenshin was driven back by Takeda bodyguards. The battle was astonishingly bloody, frustratingly inconclusive, and instantly legendary.

This week: what does it take to be part of Japan's most infamous warlord duo? We explore the lives of Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, their relationship with each other, and the ways in which their rivalry has been romanticized over the course of Japanese history.

When a sengoku daimyo died, even the best laid plans for succession often went awry.  Chris and Forest talk about Samurai inheritance and succession issues in the Sengoku period - how it worked, succession order, and inheritance disputes, in the cases of Oda Nobunaga, Mori Motonari, Uesugi Kenshin, and the complexities surrounding Takeda Katsuyori's succession to the head of the Takeda clan.
